Octave's load function does not load HDF5 files, so this error message
is correct, the file is not in a format recognized by Octave.

There is a h5read function in development that will read data from HDF5
data files, but it is not part of Octave yet. Do you have the time and
interest to build Octave yourself and test this new function?
